Notes

Barclays Bank UK PLC 1

The term Barclays Bank UK Group refers to Barclays Bank UK PLC together with its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the income statement analysis

compares the six months ended 30 June 2020 to the corresponding six months of 2019 and balance sheet analysis as at 30 June 2020 with

comparatives relating to 31 December 2019. The abbreviations ‘£m’ and ‘£bn’ represent millions and thousands of millions of Pounds Sterling respectively.

There are a number of key judgement areas, for example impairment calculations, which are based on models and which are subject to ongoing adjustment and modifications. Reported numbers reflect best estimates and judgements at the given point in time.

Relevant terms that are used in this document but are not defined under applicable regulatory guidance or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are explained in the results glossary that can be accessed at home.barclays/investor-relations/reports-and-ev ents/latest-financial-results.

The information in this announcement, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 28 July 2020, does not comprise statutory accounts within

the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2019 which contained an unmodified

audit report under Section 495 of the Companies Act 2006 (which did not make any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006) have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in accordance with Section 441 of the Companies Act 2006.

Barclays Bank UK Group is an issuer in the debt capital markets and meets with investors via formal road-shows and other ad hoc meetings. Barclays

Bank UK Group expects that from time to time over the coming half year it will meet with investors to discuss these results and other matters relating to the Barclays Bank UK Group.

Forward-looking statements

This document contains certain forward-looking statements. Barclays Bank UK Group cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a

guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ materially from those

contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historica l

or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘seek’, ‘continue’, ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘target’, ‘projected’ ,

‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’, ‘achieve’ or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements can be made in writing

but also may be made verbally by members of the management of the Barclays Bank UK Group (including, without limitation, during management

presentations to financial analysts) in connection with this document. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or

guidance regarding or relating to the Barclays Bank UK Group’s future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend payout ratios and expected payment

strategies), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, any commitments and targets, estimates of

capital expenditures, plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers, IFRS impacts and other statements that are not historica l

fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. The forward-

looking statements speak only as at the date on which they are made and such statements may be affected by changes in legislation, the development

of standards and interpretations under IFRS, including evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of accounting and regulatory

standards, the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations, future levels of conduct provisions, the policies and

actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, geopolitical risks and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to)

the following may have an effect: capital, leverage and other regulatory rules applicable to past, current and future periods; macroeconomic and

business conditions in the UK and in any systemically important economy which impacts the UK; the effects of any volatility in credit markets; market

related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in

valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes in credit ratings of any entity within the Barclays Bank UK Group or any securities

issued by such entities; direct and indirect impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; instability as a result of the exit by the UK from the

European Union and the disruption that may subsequently result in the UK; and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Barclays Bank UK Group’s control. As a result, the Barclays Bank UK Group’s

actual financial position, future results, dividend payments, capital, leverage or other regulatory ratios or other financial and non-financial metrics or performance measures may differ materially from the statements or guidance set forth in the Barclays Bank UK Group’s forward-looking statements.

Subject to our obligations under the applicable laws and regulations of any relevant jurisdiction, (including, without limitation, the UK), in relation to

disclosure and ongoing information, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Barclays Bank UK Group overview Barclays Bank UK PLC is the wholly-owned ring-fenced bank of Barclays PLC and consists of Personal Banking, Business

Banking and Barclaycard Consumer UK businesses.

Group performance Loss before tax was £2m (H119 Profit before tax: £922m) reflecting a challenging operating environment. Barclays Bank UK

PLC continued to support customers during H120, increasing lending by £8.4bn predominantly through £7.1bn of Bounce

Back Loan (BBLS) and the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS). Customer deposits grew by £20.0bn,

reflecting the impact from payment holidays, lower customer spending levels and the deposit of BBLS and CBILS loan

proceeds, demonstrating franchise strength. Digital investment continues to transform customer interactions, providing

continuity of service and resilience through the lockdown. During H120 Barclays Bank UK PLC provided c.350k payment

holidays to customers. These comprised £0.7bn UK cards balances (5% of the portfolio), £0.6bn UK personal loans balances

(11% of the portfolio), and £14.9bn mortgages balances (10% of the portfolio).

Total income decreased 9% to £3,240m, consisting of:

Personal Banking income decreased 6% to £1,863m reflecting deposit margin compression, COVID-19 customer

support actions, and lower overdraft balances and fees

Barclaycard Consumer UK income decreased 18% to £810m as reduced borrowing and spend levels by customers

resulted in a lower level of Interest earning lending (IEL) balances, as well as planned lower debt sales

Business Banking income decreased 13% to £575m due to deposit margin compression, lower transactional fee volumes

as a result of COVID-19 and related customer support actions, partially offset by lending and deposit balance growth

This was partially offset by an expense of £8m in Head Office due to the impacts of hedge accounting

Credit impairment charges increased to £1,055m reflecting forecast deterioration in macroeconomic variables in the COVID-

19 scenarios1, partially offset by the estimated impact of central bank, government and other support measures

Operating expenses were stable at £2,188m as efficiency savings were offset by COVID-19 pandemic related costs

The tax credit for H120 was £91m (H119: £213m charge), which includes the impact of the tax benefit recognised for the re-

measurement of UK deferred tax assets as a result of the UK corporation tax rate being maintained at 19%.

Balance sheet, capital and liquidity Loans and advances at amortised cost increased 4% to £205.9bn predominantly through £7.1bn of BBLS and CBILS lending,

as well as £1.9bn of mortgage growth, partially offset by lower UK cards balances

Deposits at amortised cost increased 10% to £225.7bn due to lower spending levels, the impact of payment holidays, as well

as the deposit of BBLS and CBILS loan proceeds

Cash and balances at central banks increased 59% to £38.7bn and Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive

income increased 25% to £24.1bn, as a result of a larger liquidity pool, predominantly due to increased customer deposits

The Barclays Bank UK Group CET1 ratio as at 30 June 2020 was 14.2%, which is above regulatory capital minimum

requirements.

Risk Management

Barclays Bank UK PLC 4

Risk management and principal risks

The roles and responsibilities of the business groups, Risk and Compliance, in the management of risk in the firm are defined

in the Enterprise Risk Management Framework. The purpose of the framework is to identify the principal risks of Barclays

Bank UK Group, the process by which Barclays Bank UK Group sets its appetite for these risks in its business activities, and

the consequent limits which it places on related risk taking.

The framework identifies eight principal risks: credit risk; market risk; treasury and capital risk; operational risk; model risk;

conduct risk; reputation risk; and legal risk. Further detail on these risks and how they are managed is available in the Barclays

Bank UK PLC Annual Report 2019 pages 31 to 41 or online at home.barclays/annualreport. There have been no significant

changes to these principal risks or previously identified material existing and emerging risks in the period, save that details of

an additional material risk identified in H120 which potentially impacts more than one principal risk are set out below.

The following section also gives an overview of credit risk and treasury and capital risk for the period.

Risks relating to the impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a material impact on businesses around the world and the economi c

environments in which they operate. There are a number of factors associated with the pandemic and its impact on global

economies that could have a material adverse effect on (among other things) the profitability, capital and liquidity of financial

institutions such as Barclays Bank UK Group.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption to the Barclays Bank UK Group’s customers, suppliers and staff. In the UK

severe restrictions on the movement of people have been implemented by the UK, Scottish and Welsh governments, with a

resultant significant impact on economic activity. It remains unclear how this will evolve through 2020 (including whether

there will be subsequent waves of the COVID-19 pandemic and whether and in what manner previously lifted restrictions will

be re-imposed) and the Barclays Bank UK Group continues to monitor the situation closely. However, despite the COVID-19

contingency plans established by the Barclays Bank UK Group, its ability to conduct business may be adversely affected by

disruptions to its infrastructure, business processes and technology services, resulting from the unavailability of staff due to

illness or the failure of third parties to supply services. This may cause significant customer detriment, costs to reimburse

losses incurred by the Barclays Bank UK Group’s customers, potential litigation costs (including regulatory fines, penalties

and other sanctions), and reputational damage.

In the UK, schemes have been implemented by the Bank of England, the UK Government and the Financial Conduct Authority

to provide financial support to parts of the economy most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. These schemes have been

designed and implemented at pace, meaning lenders (including Barclays) continue to address operational issues which have

arisen in connection with the implementation of the schemes, including resolving the interaction between the schemes and

existing law and regulation. In addition, the details of how these schemes will impact the Barclays Bank UK Group’s customers

and therefore the impact on the Barclays Bank UK Group remains uncertain at this stage. However, certain actions (such as

the introduction of payment holidays for certain consumer lending products or the cancellation or waiver of fees associated

with certain products) may negatively impact the effective interest rate earned on certain of the Barclays Bank UK Group

portfolios and lower fee income being earned on certain products. Lower interest rates in the UK will negatively impact net

interest income earned by the Barclays Bank UK Group. Both of these factors may in turn negatively impact the Barclays Bank

UK Group’s profitability. Furthermore, the introduction of, and participation in, central-bank supported loan and other

financing schemes introduced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact the Barclays Bank UK Group’s

risk weighted assets (RWAs), level of impairment and, in turn, capital position (particularly when any transitional relief applied

to the calculation of RWAs and impairment expires). This may be exacerbated if the Barclays Bank UK Group is required by

the UK Government or the Financial Conduct Authority to offer forbearance or additional financial relief to borrowers.

As these schemes and other financial support schemes provided by the UK Government (such as job retention and furlough

schemes) expire, are withdrawn or are no longer supported, the Barclays Bank UK Group may experience a higher volume of

defaults and delinquencies in certain portfolios and may initiate collection and enforcement actions to recover defaulted

debts. Where defaulting borrowers are harmed by the Barclays Bank UK Group’s conduct, this may give rise to civil legal

proceedings, including class actions, regulatory censure, potentially significant fines and other sanctions, and reputational

damage. Other legal disputes may also arise between the Barclays Bank UK Group and defaulting borrowers relating to

matters such as breaches or enforcement of legal rights or obligations arising under loan and other credit agreements.

Adverse findings in any such matters may result in the Barclays Bank UK Group’s rights not being enforced as intended. For

further details on legal risk and legal, competition and regulatory matters, refer to Note 14 on pages 28 to 29.

The actions taken by the UK Government and the Bank of England, may indicate a view on the potential severity of any

economic downturn and post recovery environment, which from a commercial, regulatory and risk perspective could be

significantly different to past crises and persist for a prolonged period. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a weakening in

Risk Management

Barclays Bank UK PLC 5

gross domestic product (GDP) and an expectation of higher unemployment and lower house prices in the UK. These factors

all have a significant impact on the modelling of expected credit losses (ECL) by Barclays Bank UK Group. As a result, the

Barclays Bank UK Group has experienced higher ECLs during the first half of 2020 compared to prior periods and this trend

may continue in the second half of 2020. The economic environment remains uncertain and future impairment charges may

be subject to further volatility (including from changes to macroeconomic variable forecasts) depending on the longevity of

the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures, as well as the longer term effectiveness of the Bank of England’s,

UK Government’s and other support measures. For further details on macroeconomic variables used in the calculation of

ECLs, refer to page 9. In addition, ECLs may be adversely impacted by increased levels of default for single name exposures

in certain sectors directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (such as the retail and hospitality and leisure sectors).

Furthermore, the Barclays Bank UK Group relies on models to support a broad range of business and risk management

activities, including informing business decisions and strategies, measuring and limiting risk, valuing exposures (including

the calculation of impairment), conducting stress testing and assessing capital adequacy. Models are, by their nature,

imperfect and incomplete representations of reality because they rely on assumptions and inputs, and so they may be subject

to errors affecting the accuracy of their outputs and/or misused. This may be exacerbated when dealing with unprecedented

scenarios, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the lack of reliable historical reference points and data. For further details

on model risk, refer to page 34 of the Barclays Bank UK PLC Annual Report 2019.

The disruption to economic activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact the Barclays Bank UK Group’s

other assets such as goodwill and intangibles, and the value of Barclays Bank UK PLC’s investments in subsidiaries. It could

also impact the Barclays Bank UK Group’s income due to lower lending and transaction volumes due to volatility or weakness

in the capital markets. Other potential risks include credit rating migration which could negatively impact the Barclays Bank

UK Group’s RWAs and capital position, and potential liquidity stress due to (among other things) increased customer

drawdowns, notwithstanding the significant initiatives that the UK Government and the Bank of England have put in place to

support funding and liquidity. Furthermore, a significant increase in the utilisation of credit cards by customers could have a

negative impact on the Barclays Bank UK Group’s RWAs and capital position.

The Bank of England and UK Government actions and other support measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic

may also create restrictions in relation to capital. Restrictions imposed by the UK Government and/or the Prudential

Regulation Authority (PRA) may further limit management’s flexibility in managing the business and taking action in relation

to capital distributions and capital allocation.

Any and all such events mentioned above could have a material adverse effect on the Barclays Bank UK Group’s business,

financial condition, results of operations, prospects, liquidity, capital position and credit ratings (including potential credit

rating agency changes of outlooks or ratings), as well as on the Barclays Bank UK Group’s customers, employees and

suppliers.

Loans and advances at amortised cost by product The table below presents a breakdown of loans and advances at amortised cost and the impairment allowance with stage allocation by asset classification.

Impairment allowance under IFRS 9 considers both the drawn and the undrawn counterparty exposure. For retail portfolios, the total impairment allowance is allocated to the drawn exposure to the extent that the allowance does not exceed the exposure, as ECL is

not reported separately. Any excess is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision. For wholesale portfolios, the impairment allowance on the undrawn exposure is reported on the liability side of the balance sheet as a provision.

Measurement uncertainty

The Barclays Bank UK Group uses a five-scenario model to calculate ECL. Absent the conditions surrounding the COVID-19

pandemic, a Baseline scenario is typically generated based on an external consensus forecast assembled from key sources,

including HM Treasury (short and medium-term forecasts) and Bloomberg (based on median of economic forecasts). In

addition, two adverse scenarios (Downside 1 and Downside 2) and two favourable scenarios (Upside 1 and Upside 2) are

derived, with associated probability weightings. The adverse scenarios are typically calibrated to a similar severity to internal

stress tests, whilst also considering IFRS 9 specific sensitivities and non-linearity. Downside 2 is typically benchmarked to the

Bank of England’s annual cyclical scenarios and to the most severe scenario from Moody’s inventory, but is not designed to

be the same. The favourable scenarios are generally calibrated to be symmetric to the adverse scenarios, subject to a ceiling

calibrated to relevant recent favourable benchmark scenarios. The scenarios include four economic variables (GDP,

unemployment, House Price Index (HPI) and base rate), and expanded variables using statistical models based on historical

correlations. The upside and downside shocks are designed to evolve over a five-year stress horizon, with all five scenarios

converging to a steady state after approximately eight years. To calculate ECL a probability weight is assigned to each

scenario.

Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Barclays Bank UK Group generated a Baseline scenario in March 2020

that reflected the most recent economic forecasts available in the market (combined with internal assumptions) and

estimated impacts from significant support measures taken by Barclays, central banks and governments across the Barclays

Bank Group’s key markets. This scenario assumed a strong contraction in GDP and a sharp rise in unemployment in 2020,

and required a recalibration of probability weights. This scenario was superseded by a further revised Baseline scenario

generated in June 2020, based broadly on the latest economic forecasts which recognise some impacts from the various

support measures still in place across the Barclays Bank UK Group’s key markets. Upside and downside scenarios were also

regenerated in June 2020 (together with the revised Baseline scenario, the “COVID-19 Scenarios”). The downside scenarios

reflect slower economic growth than the Baseline with social distancing measures continuing to drag GDP. Economic growth

begins to recover later in 2020 in Downside 1 but only in 2021 in the Downside 2 scenario. The upside scenarios reflect a

faster rebound in economic growth than the Baseline with a sharp decrease in infection rates and an almost fully reopened

economy. Scenario weights were also revised in June 2020 with greater weight being applied to the tail scenarios (Upside 2

and Downside 2). This reflects the significant range of uncertainty in the economic environment compared to previous

quarters given the conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

The economic environment remains uncertain and future impairment charges may be subject to further volatility (including

from changes to macroeconomic variable forecasts) depending on the longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic and related

containment measures, as well as the longer term effectiveness of central bank, government and other support measures.

The tables below show the key macroeconomic variables used in the COVID-19 Baseline scenario and the probability weights

applied to each respective scenario.

Funding and liquidity

Overview

The liquidity pool increased to £64bn (December 2019: £42bn) driven by customer deposit growth and actions to maintain

a prudent funding and liquidity position in the current environment.

Liquidity risk stress testing

The liquidity risk stress assessment measures the potential contractual and contingent stress outflows under a range of

scenarios, which are then used to determine the size of the liquidity pool that is immediately available to meet anticipated

outflows if a stress occurs. The scenarios include a 30 day Barclays-specific stress event, a 90 day market-wide stress event

and a 30 day combined scenario consisting of both a Barclays specific and market-wide stress event.

The CRR (as amended by CRR II) Liquidity Coverage ratio (LCR) requirement takes into account the relative stability of

different sources of funding and potential incremental funding requirements in a stress. The LCR is designed to promote

short-term resilience of a bank’s liquidity risk profile by holding sufficient high quality liquid assets to survive an acute stress

scenario lasting for 30 days.

As at 30 June 2020, Barclays Bank UK Group held eligible liquid assets well above 100% of the net stress outflows to its

internal and regulatory requirements. A significant portion of the liquidity pool was held in cash and deposits with central

banks. The liquidity pool was held entirely within Barclays Bank UK PLC.

Capital and leverage The disclosures below provide key capital metrics for Barclays Bank UK Group with further information on its risk profile

included in the Barclays Bank UK PLC Pillar 3 Report H1 2020, expected to be published on 14 August 2020, and which will

be available at home.barclays/investor-relations/reports-and-events/latest-financial-results.

On 27 June 2019, CRR II came into force amending CRR. As an amending regulation, the existing provisions of CRR apply

unless they are amended by CRR II. Certain aspects of CRR II are dependent on final technical standards to be issued by the

European Banking Authority (EBA) and adopted by the European Commission as well as UK implementation of the rules.

On 27 June 2020, CRR was further amended to accelerate specific CRR II measures and implement a new IFRS 9 transitional

relief calculation. Previously due to be implemented in June 2021, the accelerated measures primarily relate to the CRR

leverage calculation to include additional settlement netting and limited changes to the calculation of RWAs. For UK leverage

calculations, the PRA early adopted the CRR II settlement netting measure in April 2020.

The IFRS 9 transitional arrangements have been extended by two years and a new modified calculation has been introduced.

100% relief will be applied to increases in stage 1 and stage 2 provisions from 1 January 2020 throughout 2020 and 2021;

75% in 2022; 50% in 2023; 25% in 2024 with no relief applied from 2025. The phasing out of transitional relief on the “day

1” impact of IFRS 9 as well as increases in stage 1 and stage 2 provisions between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2019

under the modified calculation remain unchanged and continue to be subject to 70% transitional relief throughout 2020;

50% for 2021; 25% for 2022 and with no relief applied from 2023.

Also impacting own funds from 30 June 2020 until 31 December 2020 inclusive are amendments to the regulatory technical

standards on prudential valuation which include an increase to diversification factors applied to certain additional valuation

adjustments.

The disclosures in the following section reflect Barclays’ interpretation of the current rules and guidance.

Barclays Bank UK Group is required to disclose an average UK leverage ratio which is based on capital on the last day of each

month in the quarter and an exposure measure for each day in the quarter. Barclays Bank UK Group is also required to disclose

a UK leverage ratio based on capital and exposure on the last day of the quarter. Both approaches exclude qualifying claims

on central banks from the leverage exposures and include the PRA’s early adoption of CRR II settlement netting.

As at 30 June 2020, Barclays Bank UK Group average UK leverage ratio was 5.3% which is above the leverage ratio

requirement.

Independent Review Report to Barclays Bank UK PLC

Barclays Bank UK PLC 14

Conclusion

We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim Results

Announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2020 which comprises:

the condensed consolidated income statement and condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for

the period then ended;

the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2020;

the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended;

the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the period then ended; and

the related explanatory notes.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial

statements in the Interim Results Announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2020 is not prepared, in all material

respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU and the Disclosure Guidance and

Transparency Rules (“the DTR”) of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (“the UK FCA”).

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review

of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices Board

for use in the UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for

financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. We read the other information

contained in the Interim Results Announcement and consider whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material

inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK)

and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might

be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Directors’ responsibilities

The Interim Results Announcement is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are

responsible for preparing the Interim Results Announcement in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.

As disclosed in Note 1, Basis of preparation, the annual financial statements of the Barclays Bank UK Group are prepared in

accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. The directors are responsible for

preparing the condensed set of financial statements included in the Interim Results Announcement in accordance with IAS

34 as adopted by the EU.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the Interim

Results Announcement based on our review.

The purpose of our review work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the company in meeting

the requirements of the DTR of the UK FCA. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those

matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do

not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company for our review work, for this report, or for the

conclusions we have reached.

Assets and liabilities reclassified between Level 1 and Level 2 During the period, there were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Level 3 movement analysis The following table summarises the movements in the Level 3 balance during the period. The table shows gains and losses

and includes amounts for all financial assets and liabilities that are held at fair value transferred to and from Level 3 during

the period.

Asset and liability moves between Level 2 and Level 3 are primarily due to i) an increase or decrease in observable market

activity related to an input or ii) a change in the significance of the unobservable input, with assets and liabilities classified

as Level 3 if an unobservable input is deemed significant.

Valuation techniques and sensitivity analysis Sensitivity analysis is performed on products with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) to generate a range of reasonably

possible alternative valuations. The sensitivity methodologies applied take account of the nature of valuation techniques used,

as well as the availability and reliability of observable proxy and historical data and the impact of using alternative models.

Sensitivity analysis of valuations using unobservable inputs

The following table discloses the sensitivity to changes in credit spreads used in determining the fair value of Non-asset

backed loans:

As at 30.06.20 As at 31.12.19

Favourable

changes

Unfavourable

changes

Favourable

changes

Unfavourable

changes

£m £m £m £m

Non-asset backed loans 95 (236) 89 (264)

The effect of stressing unobservable inputs to a 90th percentile confidence interval of a potential range of values, alongside

considering the impact of using alternative models, would be to increase fair values by up to £95m (December 2019: £89m)

or to decrease fair values by up to £236m (December 2019: £264m). All the potential effect would impact profit and loss.

The asymmetry in the favourable and unfavourable changes in the sensitivity analysis is attributable to Investing and Funding

costs with the prudential valuation framework contributing to the unfavourable side only.

Unrecognised gains as a result of the use of valuation models using unobservable inputs The amount that has yet to be recognised in income that relates to the difference between the transaction price (the fair value

at initial recognition) and the amount that would have arisen had valuation models using unobservable inputs been used on

initial recognition, less amounts subsequently recognised, is £12m (December 2019: £13m) for financial instruments

measured at fair value and £223m (December 2019: £224m) for financial instruments carried at amortised cost. The

decrease of £1m in financial instruments measured at fair value is driven by amortisation and releases of £1m (December

2019: £1m). The decrease of £1m in financial instruments carried at amortised cost is driven by amortisation and releases of

£6m (December 2019: £12m) offset by additions of £5m (December 2019: £5m).

Portfolio exemption The Barclays Bank UK Group uses the portfolio exemption in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement to measure the fair value of

groups of financial assets and liabilities. Instruments are measured using the price that would be received to sell a net long

position (i.e. an asset) for a particular risk exposure or to transfer a net short position (i.e. a liability) for a particular risk

exposure in an orderly transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date under current market conditions.

Accordingly, the Barclays Bank UK Group measures the fair value of the group of financial assets and liabilities consistently

with how market participants would price the net risk exposure at the measurement date.

Comparison of carrying amounts and fair values for assets and liabilities not held at fair value The following table summarises the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost on the Barclays

Bank UK Group balance sheet:

PPI redress

As at 30 June 2020, the Barclays Bank UK Group held a provision totalling £0.8bn against the cost of PPI redress and associated

processing costs.

The Barclays Group has recognised cumulative provisions totalling £11bn (December 2019: £11bn), against the cost of

Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) redress and associated processing costs. Utilisation of the cumulative provisions to date

is £10.2bn (December 2019: £9.8bn).

The current provision reflects the estimated cost of PPI redress attributable to claims and information requests from

customers, Claims Management Companies and the Official Receiver in relation to bankrupt individuals, prior to the Financial

Conduct Authority (FCA) complaint deadline of 29th August 2019.

Q3 2019 saw an exceptional level of claims and information requests received in advance of the complaint deadline of 29

August 2019. All the items outstanding at Q3 2019, greater than two million in total, have now been processed into Barclays’

systems. 70% of these have been resolved including invalid items.

It is possible that the eventual cumulative provision will differ from the current estimate. The table below shows the predicted

level of valid claims and the impact of a 1% increase or decrease in the percentage of valid volumes on the outstanding claims

at 30 June 2020:

Validity assumptions1

Claims received 21% 1% = £3m

Information requests received 7% 1% = £2m

Final agreement has yet to be reached in relation to claims received from the Official Receiver, however we do not expect

any further exposure from these claims to be material in the context of the total provision.

1 Total valid claims and information requests received, excluding those for which no PPI policy exists, claims from the Official Receiver in relation to bankrupt individuals and responses to proactive mailing. The sensitivity has been calculated to show the impact a 1% increase or decrease in the volume of unresolved valid claims would have on the provision level.

The fair value through other comprehensive income reserve represents the unrealised change in the fair value through other

comprehensive income investments since initial recognition.

As at 30 June 2020, there was a debit balance of £28m (December 2019: £29m debit) in the fair value through other

comprehensive income reserve. The gain of £1m is principally driven by a £29m gain from the increase in fair value of bonds

due to decreasing bond yields and an impairment charge of £6m. This was offset by £35m of net gains transferred to the

income statement.

Cash flow hedging reserve

The cash flow hedging reserve represents the cumulative gains and losses on effective cash flow hedging instruments that

will be recycled to the income statement when the hedged transactions affect profit or loss.

As at 30 June 2020, there was a credit balance of £381m (December 2019: £123m credit) in the cash flow hedging reserve.

The increase of £258m principally reflects a £391m increase in the fair value of interest rate swaps held for hedging purposes

as interest rate forward curves decreased. This is partially offset by £33m of gains transferred to the income statement and a

tax charge of £100m.

Other reserves and other shareholders’ equity

Reconstruction Relief for Barclays Bank UK PLC, in respect of the transfer of the UK banking business, which occurred on 1

April 2018.

As at 30 June 2020, there was a credit balance of £89m (December 2019: £89m credit) in other reserves and shareholders’

equity. There has been no movement since December 2019.

In addition to the above, Note 14, Legal, competition and regulatory matters details out further contingent liabilities where it

14. Legal, competition and regulatory matters

Barclays Bank UK PLC and the Barclays Bank UK Group face legal, competition and regulatory challenges, many of which are

beyond our control. The extent of the impact of these matters cannot always be predicted but may materially impact our

operations, financial results, condition and prospects. Matters arising from a set of similar circumstances can give rise to

either a contingent liability or a provision, or both, depending on the relevant facts and circumstances.

The recognition of provisions in relation to such matters involves critical accounting estimates and judgments in accordance

with the relevant accounting policies as described in Note 8, Provisions. We have not disclosed an estimate of the potential

financial impact or effect on the Group of contingent liabilities where it is not currently practicable to do so. Various matters

detailed in this note seek damages of an unspecified amount. While certain matters specify the damages claimed, such

claimed amounts do not necessarily reflect the Group’s potential financial exposure in respect of those matters.

Investigation into collections and recoveries relating to unsecured lending

Since February 2018, the FCA has been investigating whether the Barclays Group implemented effective systems and controls

with respect to collections and recoveries and whether it paid due consideration to the interests of customers in default and

arrears. The FCA investigation is at an advanced stage.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) assessments concerning UK Value Added Tax

In 2018, HMRC issued notices that have the effect of removing certain overseas subsidiaries that have operations in the UK

from Barclays’ UK VAT group, in which group supplies between members are generally free from VAT. The notices have

retrospective effect and correspond to assessments of £181m (inclusive of interest), of which Barclays would expect to

attribute an amount of approximately £128m to Barclays Bank UK PLC and £53m to Barclays Bank PLC. HMRC’s decision has

been appealed to the First Tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber).

Local authority civil actions concerning LIBOR

Following settlement by Barclays Bank PLC of various governmental investigations concerning certain benchmark interest

rate submissions, in the UK, certain local authorities have brought claims against Barclays Bank PLC (and, in certain cases,

Barclays Bank UK PLC) asserting that they entered into loans in reliance on misrepresentations made by Barclays Bank PLC in

respect of its conduct in relation to LIBOR. The loans were originally entered into with Barclays Bank PLC, but Barclays Bank

UK PLC is now the lender of record. Barclays has applied to strike out the claims.

General

The Barclays Bank UK Group is engaged in various other legal, competition and regulatory matters in the jurisdictions in which

it operates. The Barclays Bank UK Group is subject to legal proceedings brought by and against members of the Barclays Bank

UK Group which arise in the ordinary course of business from time to time, including (but not limited to) disputes in relation

to contracts, securities, debt collection, consumer credit, fraud, trusts, client assets, competition, data management and

protection, money laundering, financial crime, employment, environmental and other statutory and common law issues.

The Barclays Bank UK Group is also subject to enquiries and examinations, requests for information, audits, investigations

and legal and other proceedings by regulators, governmental and other public bodies in connection with (but not limited to)

consumer protection measures, compliance with legislation and regulation, wholesale trading activity and other areas of

banking and business activities in which it is or has been engaged. The Barclays Bank UK Group is cooperating with the

relevant authorities and keeping all relevant agencies briefed as appropriate in relation to these matters and others described

in this note on an ongoing basis.

At the present time, Barclays Bank UK PLC does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of these other matters to have a

material adverse effect on its financial position. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters and the matters

specifically described in this note, there can be no assurance that the outcome of a particular matter or matters (including

formerly active matters or those matters arising after the date of this note) will not be material to Barclays Bank UK PLC’s

results, operations or cash flow for a particular period, depending on, among other things, the amount of the loss resulting

from the matter(s) and the amount of profit otherwise reported for the reporting period.
